I have the following query: where completedate = NULL, is giving the problem it does'nt get the data:
Can you please tell me what can use other than NULL. for CompleteDate in where condition.


Select actionid, 'ACT' as Type, actiondescription, ModuleName,ModuleRecordID,
[days] = CASE WHEN duedate < GetDate()
THEN '(' + CONVERT(varchar(20), DATEDIFF(Day, duedate, GetDate()))
+ ')'
ELSE CONVERT(varchar(20), DATEDIFF(Day, GetDate(), duedate))
END
FROM Tab_CCSNETACTIONS where AssignedTo = 2 and CompleteDate =NULL

Thank you very much for the information.

See...proble is, null is not equal to anything....even itself...it needs to be a true/false test
